Reviews for Vive L'Amour
The film is told in images, turning the minimal dialogue almost unnecessary. Focusing on lives that come into physical contact yet remain separate the director conveys sexual desire in erotically charged manner, including a powerful masturbation scene
An engaging mixture of bizarre wit and eroticism and heartfelt sadness.
